The sixth Aruba International Regatta will take place this year on August 15th, 16th and 17th.
With three days of action and competition for yachts, beach cats, sunfishes, optimists, windsurfers and kite surfers and three evenings of music and parties for all participants and spectators.
Sailors will compete to win the Budget Marine Cup in the most competitive class. This cup will be awarded for the fourth time this year and has a value of AWG 1,000.
For the youngest sailors there will be the optimist races and for the kite surfers and wind surfers there will be the down-wind races.
The success of last year’s event with over 40 sailboats on the water inspired the organization to take this year’s edition to the next level.
A regatta village will be installed at Surfside Beach, next to the airport, to ensure entertainment, music, food and beverage and a spectacular view of the races. The Aruba International Regatta is not only an event for the participants in the yacht races; the regatta village is a gathering point for people who want to enjoy a view of the races, have a relaxed afternoon on the beach or, of course, are looking for a beach party.
All events and races take place at Surfside Beach. Together with the other sponsors like Budget Marine, ALBO, WEB-Aruba, Studio Advisory, Power Systems, ASD, ADCTRA, Zenitel, SEA-Aruba, this regatta will surely be an event you shouldn’t miss! Most participants are already preparing for the races and a number of international competitors have already confirmed their participation in the races.
